One of the weirder villainous organizations in the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons]], the '''Cult of the Dragon''' is a mad cult made up of humanoids who have turned to worshipping [[dracolich]]es as incarnate gods and see it as their holy duty to both entice more [[dragon]]s to undergo the [[lich]] transformation, which they are happy to help with, and to aid dracoliches in their various schemes. They were founded by Sammaster, a former Chosen of [[Mystra]] who went insane when he couldn't accept that he had mistranslated a prophecy about dragons coming to rule Faerûn after some great apocalypse when he claimed that it would instead result in the world being ruled by undead dragons. Sammaster became a [[Lich]] himself to try and make his vision come to reality, and was ultimately destroyed as part of a foiled plan to exploit the [[Rage of Dragons]], an event that makes up the Year of Rogue Dragons trilogy of novels. | |||
